There are many special features of the temple remains unknown. There is a statue of Durga Devi on mast of MoolaVirattu Veerabhadhra Swami temple. Usually, God appears from outside through the main doors of Temple, Swami is Ugra (Anger) virabhadhra, so doors are little bit side of the entrance to the temple so that eye contact shouldn't directly falls on to the town. Kalankari images were excellent on the roof in the temple. The main attraction of the temple is, one can move a towel cloth under the pillar built in temple. This is a great example for engineering technology implemented during long back in India.
This is just example of Indian History. There are many unknown mysteries in India. Know them, save the Greatness of Indian - Subcontinent.
